Parks | Greenville SC First Birthday Portrait Milestone Session

Parks is ONE! We captured this special first year milestone with my Heirloom Portrait Session and Lifestyle Add-On. Fun fact, I built my studio with this EXACT offering in mind! I love being able to quickly transition from a more formal portrait with studio light, to a more relaxed lifestyle portrait in natural light. It’s quickly becoming one of my most popular offerings, and I think these precious images showcase why!

Channing | Greenville, SC Fine Art Portrait and Lifestyle Studio Session

Sweet Channing came in recently for her 2 year portrait, and we had the best time. Her family chose my favorite session combination of all time, which is my Heirloom Vignette Portrait sitting, paired with a lifesyle add-on that captures even more of those sweet personalities and the full heirloom outfit. Fun fact, we actually built my studio with this specific session offering in mind! It’s a unique session line up that creates the PERFECT set of image.
